It was about 29 deg F, 20-25 MPH winds, standing out on some rocks frezzing my a** off, and no gloves yet Airic... some guys never learn!

Thanks for looking!

Some guys just never learn Go get some gloves and a hat and some boots. It is much more comfortable then freezing your a**off. I sure would like to go back and get another crack at those Swans. Maybe next weekend. You did a great job.

Look at my ""Woodpecker" and you see what "average" (or let's call it: bad) bird photography is like!

"Junk" *walking away shaking head in utter disbelief!*
